A single package adhesive for tooth bonding application comprising a solventbased homogenous mixture of: 1) an ethylenically unsaturated functional and hygroscopically functional monomer; 2) an ethylenically unsaturated functional and hygroscopically functional coupling agent that is capable of (a) chemically reacting with and through the ethylenic bond of the ethylenically unsaturated functional monomer of 1) above, and (b) chemically bonding to the surface to which the adhesive is applied; 3) a poly-ethylenically unsaturated functional crosslinking agent that is capable of reacting with the monomer of 1) above and the coupling agent of 2) above; and 4) a photoinitiator that induces addition polymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated compound. A method for forming a composite and composite structure are included that employ the single package adhesive.
